Interesting Knicks 2nd unit lineup

G: McBride
G: DiVincenzo
F: J Hart
F: Bogdanovic
C: M Robinson

Small. Lots of shooting. Not much ball-handling or playmaking.

The last time the Pistons won a playoff game was against the Celtics in 2008.

Between 2003 and 2008, the Pistons went to six straight Eastern Conference Finals, two NBA Finals, and won a title. They haven't won a single playoff game since that run.

Gotta feel a bit for that fanbase at this point.

Sounds like the New England Patriots of basketball in their later parts of that dynasty. AFCCG and some Superbowl appearances before heading back to purgatory for years

Embiid just steamrolls Robinson and plants his elbow in his sternum.

Foul on Robinson.

Doris and Co: "Embiid is just unstoppable!"

Lol what a joke

Embiid and Maxey have 30 of Philly's 46pts.

Looks like Embiid's knee gave out after that dunk.

Oh man, what a move by Embiid, but that did not look good. Looked just like a normal, one-legged landing. Feels like he tried coming back too soon.

Looks like Embiid re-injured that knee…

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

Embiid goes for a highlight dunk and instead might have just destroyed his knee in the process...  :(

Maxey with his hand UNDERNEATH THE BALL on the dribble and he has the gall to complain

He really didn't look right in the Miami game.

Knicks now on a 33-12 run and in control. They certainly have their flaws but it's a well built roster and even besides Brunson they do have a few capable shooters + defenders. If they had a healthy Randle there's no doubt in my mind they'd be ECF bound, though they still could be without him.

If Embiid is gonna miss most of this remaining series then Knicks could probably win this in less than 7. I had NYK in 7 but without Embiid it could be just 5 or 6

He may not even have a choice anymore.
